PRO54 YShield paint, 10 litres, €415 incl. VAT – electromagnetic wave shielding

PRO54 YShield 10L paint, priced at €415 (including VAT), provides electromagnetic wave shielding from -35dB to -100dB across the 10 MHz to 40 GHz frequency range for OUTDOOR use against high frequencies (5G relay antennas, Wi-Fi) and low-frequency electric fields

Graphite-free paints with a strong-adhering acrylic binder for exterior coating (4.8 N/mm²) and also providing excellent adhesion for the topcoat and weather protection.

YShield® wall paints protect your home from external electromagnetic fields, whether high-frequency (base stations, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, satellites, radar, DECT, wireless telecommunications networks, radio repeaters, etc.) or low-frequency (EDF power cables, etc.).

They create a shielded enclosure (Faraday cage) where external electrosmog (electromagnetic smog) is virtually prevented from entering your home.

This paint is undoubtedly the most effective currently available. Unlike other paints, these do not use metallic compounds but only carbon, which acts as a conductor.

The paint therefore does not oxidise, and more importantly, it prevents excessive re-emissions within the home from internal sources that may emit electromagnetic fields.

They can be used both indoors and outdoors. They are environmentally friendly and safe for health, as they contain no solvents or toxic chemical additives. They are applied in the same way as conventional paints.

They are also used for shielding:

• Strategically sensitive areas where computer and frequency data must not be leaked to the outside.
• Electronic components to prevent high-frequency interference between multiple components and ensure RF compatibility.

Features:

• Biocompatible and hypoallergenic: contains no metal, solvents or toxic chemical additives # Durable and tear-resistant
• Binder: acrylic
• Handling and application similar to standard paint
• Washable with water
• Antistatic
• Application surfaces: Plaster, cement, cob, existing paint. Surfaces must be degreased and carefully prepared to remove any porous irregularities. A primer may be necessary
• Application technique: brush, paint roller, paint sprayer
• Application conditions: above 5°C, dry weather, drying time = 12 to 36 hours depending on temperature. Ideally, YShield® paints should be overcoated with two coats of water-repellent latex paint outdoors, and with two coats of latex, vinyl or acrylic paint indoors. After shielding any rooms with YShield® paint, a residual current device (RCD) must be installed to prevent any risk of overvoltage. The mains power supply to the property must be switched off before any work is carried out using YShield® paints.
• Earthing: YShield® paints must be earthed using YShield® earthing kits for both exterior and interior paints
• We accept no liability for damage caused to persons, animals or property resulting from incorrect application of the paint, in particular where earthing and electrical installation do not comply with DIN 57100 / VDE 0100 standards. We recommend that the electrical installation and the earthing of YShield® paints be checked by a qualified electrician
• Attenuation efficiency:  - - - High frequencies: -30dB per 1 litre per 3.75 m² and -40dB per 1 litre per 7.5 m² - - - Electrostatic fields: 99% attenuation - - - Electric fields, low frequencies: 99% - Ideal for attenuation in future high-frequency telecommunications industry applications (excellent attenuation up to 18 GHz) --- Standards: D4935-10 ASTM, IEEE Std 299-2006, IEEE Std 1128-1998, ASTM A698 / A698M-07

YShield® paints have a variety of applications:

1. Military: shielding of highly confidential sites to prevent the hacking of data transmissions.
2. High-tech industry: shielding of electronic components to resolve electromagnetic compatibility issues
3. Medical: shielding of rooms or specific medical equipment emitting significant electromagnetic radiation to protect healthcare professionals and patients. YShield® paints offer a range to meet all needs.

YShield® paints contain no toxic solvents, plasticisers or toxic components, but only very low levels of initial volatile organic compounds to comply with the strictest eco-friendly housing standards. The attenuation charts are certified by the University of Munich of the German Armed Forces.

Shielding of glazed surfaces:

Glass surfaces must also be shielded to prevent high and low frequencies from penetrating through these areas. We recommend using HFshield fabric for high-frequency attenuation and low-frequency electric field shielding. Description of YShield® earthing kits:

Earthing Kit (ES):

All painted surfaces must be earthed. This kit is specially designed for earthing YShield® paints

Interior Connection Tape (EB):

This connection tape ensures that, in the event of a crack, all surfaces painted with YShield® paints inside an enclosed room remain earthed. It is self-adhesive. Length: 10 m, width: 2 cm, thickness: 0.06 mm.

Exterior Jointing Tape (LB):

This joint tape ensures that, in the event of a crack, all surfaces painted with YShield® paints on the exterior of a dwelling or building remain earthed. It is tear-resistant and weatherproof. Length 10 m, width 17 mm, thickness 0.8 mm, hole diameter: 5 mm.
